Conor McGregor has brought in numerous boxing professionals to spar with in preparation for his fight with Floyd Mayweather. Perhaps the most notable was two-weight world champion Paulie Malignaggi.
But the two parted ways, and now a genuine feud has been sparked. Malignaggi felt McGregor’s camp was going out of their way to make him look bad, posting images of a knockdown and maintaining he was pushed. Malignaggi called for the video to be released and UFC president Dana White was happy to oblige.
Most fans see this as an actual knockdown, backing McGregor’s account of events.
